Union City Throws a Party

(Ray Machado & His Group)

(Union City, NJ) Union City really knows how to throw a party as evidenced last night at its annual Independence Day Celebration along Palisade Avenue.  The evening was filled to the brim with family fun… from pony rides to giant slides to even a mechanical bull.  They had plenty of hot dogs and water, as well as popcorn and cotton candy… and all was FREE.  

This festivities also included classic cars, and art exhibit curated by the ever eccentric Amado Mora.  Families could even walk away from the event with a free printed Independence Day photograph.  The popular children's show "Rosario & Her Stars" was a big hit with the kids.

The highlight of the night however was the variety of music.  From standards to classic Rock.  But the night belonged to what Union City does better than any other City in the State, and that is Latin music.

The event featured El CapitanThe Back in Business Band, Cubanoson, Union Hill, and Ray Machado y Su Grupo.  The Ray Machado Group in particular brought the house down with their fusion of Cuban Reggeaton, Salsa, and Timba.  They had the crowd bouncing during their one hour set.

It was a great party, and a great way to kick-off the Fourth of July weekend.
